Up for auction is my 1955 Chevy Bel-Air 4dr sedan project car. This is a real bel-air, not a 210 or 150.  The car was taken to the next level by me, it's now time to take a major loss and pass it on for somebody else to take off where I left off as I don't have the time to put into it.

  Here are the facts.... 1968 chevy 307 V8 cleaned up and installed. It was from an old man Impala with bout 80k on it.  I also replaced the heads with 64-66 Chevy 283/327 heads.  It needs another day or so to be made to run.  New starter as well. Fuel line has to be ran . (I have a new fuel tank not installed). Obvious adjustments of carb and timing.

  Transmission is a mid 70's known good TH350 shorttail.  It's installed using a modern SPEEDWAY cross member.  I also have purchased the shifter rod to make it work with original column (not connected)

 This car is a rare 1955 POWER STEERING CAR.  Everything is intact! Hooked up to original generator unit that is worth $400 alone.

  Clearly seen this car IS NOT for somebody who cannot do their own welding and body work unless you have cash to pay somebody to do it.  3 of the 4 doors already are just about finshed. The forth one was started and not finished. The hood is sandblasted and is alone with $500 if not more, it's just about MINT, perfect corners and NOT ROTTED. The trunk lid also is sandblasted and needs minor work.  Floor work was done already, needs a little more here and there (nothing major).  I installed correct driverside floor pan and brace under it as well as two outer rocker panels.

    The rear as clearly seen has already been cut out to be replaced.  I have $400 of new sheet metal that needs to be welded for the back, including last 8 inches of inside of trunk and the actual outer panel.

  I have a one piece original rear bumper that is powercoated silver, I have an original front bumper that needs to be painted or tossed in favor of something else.

  The original wiring is in the dash and excellent.  I also put new wiring under the hood. Did you notice the headliner??? That 's all brand new with windlace costing me $700 to do so....

  As far as seats I have an original seat that is complete and needs to be redone as well as a mint set of 2003 Monte Carlo bucket seats.  You are getting BOTH!  I have the original top half of rear seat but not the bottom .  The seat I purchased was for a 2 door (the bottom section is slighly different)  Sold that and found that lower halves for 4 doors are out there and rather reasonable.

    Again, my loss your gain.  I will never get out of this what I've already put in.  IT is now 2013, 2 and 4 doors are very close in value. A correct finished 55 Bel-Air 4dr is in the 26,500k spot according to the latest KRAUSE price guide as a 2dr sedan is at 32,000..... Eyes closed any really decent 4dr goes for $12-18k.

    This is the ultimate car for somebody who is handy and can take it to the next level.  It's an easy money maker if you are a car flipper.  I think this actually should be of interest to the SWEEDS.

     I am going to be loading this car chock full of parts, parts and more parts.  You are getting more than your moneys worth and beyond here!!!! I have some doubles of items , all is going!!!! I am also going to be bolting the hood, doors, and trunk on for transport purpose.

CAR also sports original NOTCH wheels that are worth about $300-400.  Excellent bias ply tires of the day

 

  DON'T THINK BOUT bidding on this car, just bid on it and have the funds ready to go.  I am in NY 10920.  I DO NOT HAVE time to waste with dreamers.  I am taking a loss and will consider a "BUY IT NOW" as long as your funds are where your offer is.

     CLEARLY STATED, this VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE PAPERWORK.  I will write out a written bill of sale.  I can aquire paperwork @600, e-mail me if you wish to have me handle it, or handle it on your own. THE VIN TAG is present and can be read.

   Catch me while I am hot to lose this. IF I put one month into to and little cash it will run and drive being worth $6000 unfinished easy.  My reserve is a joke and I hope it goes up above and beyond it.  If not....well it's going anyway.  CAR LISTED TO SELL IT, not to waste time.

 

  TERMS OF SALE.... AS IS/WHERE IS IN NY 10920.  Funds in cash if local or, direct deposit, or last option bank check.  NO PAY PAL, no personal checks. NO TRADES. Must be paid in 7 days of auctions end.  All ZERO bidders are going to be deleted if they  NOT contact me to verify bids.  Anybody shady is also going to be deleted. I have a local man who can haul within 400 miles.  If you are beyond that then find a transporter.  Going easy you are spending $1000 if not more coast to coast , so again don't waste my time if you don't have the funds to make the deal.

 

Thanks and best of luck.

2016 Chevy Camaro performance figures released

Mon, Sep 14 2015

If you want to make a car faster, there are two sure-fire ways to get the job done – add power and/or reduce weight. Chevy has done both for the 2016 Camaro, putting as much as 455 horsepower into its muscle coupe and shaving a few hundred pounds from every trim. That range-topping power comes courtesy of a 6.2-liter V8 engine, and it's enough grunt to push an automatic-equipped Camaro SS to 60 miles per hour in just 4.0 seconds flat (4.3 seconds with a manual) and down the quarter mile in 12.3 seconds at 116 mph (12.5 at 115 for the stick). Not coincidentally, those acceleration specs, at least on paper, put the V8-powered Camaro SS just above the Mustang GT on the muscle-car pecking order. When the road gets twisty, Chevy claims the Camaro SS can generate as much as .97 g on the skidpad. And, thanks in part to its Goodyear Eagle F1 summer tires, the SS can stop from 60 in as little as 117 feet. We look forward to finding out how nimble the new Camaro feels when compared to its primary competitors. <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p> Moving down one notch to the 335-hp 3.6-liter V6, properly equipped 2016 Camaro coupes can hit 60 in as few as 5.1 seconds and cover the quarter in 13.5 at 103. Perhaps even more intriguingly, the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and its 275 horsepower (the only configuration quicker with a manual transmission, incidentally) can propel the Camaro to 60 in 5.4 seconds and through the 'ol 1320 in 14 seconds flat. That's seriously quick, but buyers comparing the Camaro to the Mustang will find that the EcoBoost 2.3-liter is a bit more powerful (310 hp and 320 lb-ft) and quicker (5.1 seconds to 60). Chevy is making lots of noise about the efforts its engineers went through to shed weight from the 2016 Camaro, going so far as to shave down suspension bolts so that no thread went unthreaded. The weight-saving obsession pays off – base Camaro models are down 390 pounds while the SS model drops 223 pounds over the 2015. The 2016 Camaro SS boasts a power-to-weight ratio of 8.1 lbs per pony, a 14-percent improvement over the last-gen. Even though weight is down, chassis stiffness is said to be up by 28 percent over the fifth-gen Camaro coupe. Also of note: The Camaro is now lighter than the Mustang across the board when comparing like-to-like configuration levels. The 2016 Chevy Camaro starts at $26,695 (including $995 for destination).

GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.
